Let’s take a closer look at today’s altcoins showing breakout signals. We’ll explain what the coin is, then dive into the trading charts and provide some analysis to help you decide.
1. Solana (SOL)
Solana SOL is a highly functional open-source project that banks on blockchain technology’s permissionless nature to provide decentralised finance (DeFi) solutions. The Solana protocol is designed to facilitate decentralised app (DApp) creation. It aims to improve scalability by introducing a proof-of-history (PoH) consensus combined with the underlying proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus of the blockchain.
SOL Price Analysis
At the time of writing, SOL is ranked the 8th cryptocurrency globally and the current price is US$53.37. Let’s take a look at the chart below for price analysis:
SOL has retraced 80% from its Q1 highs and reached possible support last week near $50.34. Resistance might begin near $80.34, which has confluence with the 9 and 18 EMAs.
A more substantial rally might reach near the swing high at $87.23 and the 40 EMA. This high is less likely to break if bears plan to continue the downtrend without a lengthier consolidation.
While not highly probable in the current market conditions, a more animated move upward could reach a wide resistance area between $94.42 and $98.94. This zone is where the last movement down accumulated positions before breaking down.
Possible support rests near $50.34, which showed sensitivity on the last test. While it could provide support again, the higher-timeframe bearish trend is more likely to propel the price into an inefficient area between $47.10 and $44.54. If the price reaches this zone, the Q1 2021 swing high near $40.13 might mark a more sensitive level.
2. Polygon (MATIC)
Polygon MATIC is the first well-structured, easy-to-use platform for Ethereum scaling and infrastructure development. Its core component is Polygon SDK, a modular, flexible framework that supports building multiple types of applications. The MATIC token will continue to exist and will play an increasingly important role in securing the system and enabling governance.
MATIC Price Analysis
At the time of writing, MATIC is ranked the 18th cryptocurrency globally and the current price is US$0.7203. Let’s take a look at the chart below for price analysis:
Since its Q1 highs, MATIC has been in a steady bearish trend – retracing nearly 55%. The price found support near $0.7020, at the 60.8% retracement level.
Last week’s sharp impulse up might have marked the start of a new trend. If so, higher timeframes suggest that $0.6839 near the 65.8% retracement, and the 9, 18, and 40 EMAs, may see interest from bulls. The price could reach lower, near $0.6520, and still find support.
Currently, the price is contesting a region between $0.7139 and $0.7835. Closes over this level could confirm it as new support, leading to a move higher.
However, bulls are contending with probable resistance near $0.8344, while $0.9053 is also likely to be sensitive with the nearest support and resistance this close together.
3. Stellar (XLM)
Stellar XLM is an open network that allows money to be moved and stored. When it was released, the goal was boosting financial inclusion by reaching the world’s unbanked – but soon after, its priorities shifted to helping financial firms connect with one another through blockchain technology. The network’s native token, lumens, serves as a bridge that makes it less expensive to trade assets across borders. All of this aims to challenge existing payment providers who often charge high fees for a similar service.
XLM Price Analysis
At the time of writing, XLM is ranked the 27th cryptocurrency globally and the current price is US$0.1303. Let’s take a look at the chart below for price analysis:
XLM set a high near $0.2457 in early April before retracing nearly 45% to find a low near $0.1260. The price consolidated around this level before the strong bullish impulse during the past several days.
Probable resistance near $0.1578 is slowing the bullish advance down. However, another leg might target the last swing high at $0.1722 and relatively equal highs at $0.1936. Resistance near $0.2059 could cap the move before the second swing high. Beyond these levels, little stands in the bulls’ way before reaching the swing high near $0.2356.
A retracement before a move higher might find support in the daily gap near $0.1243, just above the weekly open. Relatively equal lows near $0.1175 could also provide support. Run-on stops at $0.1105 and $0.1083 might find support in the gap beginning near $0.1020.
